Heh, I had the same problem with UNNA when I first got my newt, I thought
it'd be cool to just download packages instead of sync them. The mime types
aren't setup properly to recognize the package, so I download them from
unna, run them through packtype (mac) and them email them to my newt.
Simplemail does a great job of decoding them. HTH!
